<p><b>'Huge of heart and soaring of soul' CLAIRE KILROY</b><br><b>'A profound love story...Like Barbara Kingsolver, Hickey captures the pulse of the living moment' COLUM McCANN</b><br><br>1979. In the vast and often unforgiving city of London, two Irish outsiders seeking refuge find one another: Milly, a teenage runaway, and Pip, a young boxer full of anger and potential who is beginning to drink it all away.<br><br>Over the decades their lives follow different paths, interweaving from time to time, often in one another's sight, always on one another's mind, yet rarely together. <br><br>Forty years on, Milly is clinging onto the only home she's ever really known while Pip, haunted by T.S. Eliot's <i>The Waste Land</i>, traipses the streets of London and wrestles with the life of the recovering alcoholic. And between them, perhaps uncrossable, lies the unspoken span of their lives. <br><br>Dark and brave, this epic novel offers a rich and moving portrait of an ever-changing city, and a profound inquiry into character, loneliness and the nature of love.</p>
